1/Copy (Inc. Taxes)

by Chief provincial Public Health Officer The Chief Provincial Public Health Officer advises most of Manitoba will be exposed to smoke drifting from a number of wildland fires that are burning in the province as well as from Saskatchewan over the next few days. Northern Manitoba is currently experiencing higher levels of smoke. The area impacted most will expand to include the western border of the province on Wednesday. However, most of the province is expected to experience some smoke over the next several days. Smoke levels may vary considerably due to wind direction and other weather conditions. Exposure to smoke can cause sore eyes, tears, coughing and a runny nose. In areas affected by smoke from wildland fires, Manitobans are encouraged to: (Continued on Page 3)

RCMP report The following is the RCMP report to June 30, 2015. This reporting period, police responded to the following calls for service. June 24, 2015 • Just as we were welcoming our newest (and youngest) member to our RCMP family, Cst. Paydli hit a deer with our youngest and newest vehicle! Glad to report Cst. Paydli and his trainer were not injured. But as you all know, some poetry is in order: There once was a new member name Luke Who hit an animal that wasn’t Marmaduke. He was heading to Baldur to visit the school One arm out the window to look very cool. Out of the ditch a deer did stray Still looking cool, it was going to be a very bad day. The deer landed firm right on the front. This male deer made his last grunt. There laid his first Police Buck Who knows what he said, but he surely said (gosh).

Smoke advisory for Manitoba (Continued from Page 1) • limit outdoor activity and strenuous physical activity and if breathing becomes difficult or uncomfortable, stop or reduce the activity; • reduce exposure to smoke by staying indoors or moving to areas with cleaner air, as conditions can vary dramatically by area; • turn off furnaces and air-conditioning units that may draw smoke indoors; and • keep indoor air cleaner by avoiding smoking or burning other materials. People at higher risk include young children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with heart or lung conditions (particularly asthma), and they should avoid exposure to smoke as much as possible. Manitobans with health questions or concerns can contact their health-care provider or call Health Links–Info SantÊ at 204788-8200 or 1-888-3159257 (toll-free). More information on the health effects of smoke is available at www.gov.mb.ca/ health/publichealth/envi ronmentalhealth/ smoke.html For further information on local weather conditions and special air quality statements, visit weather.gc.ca/warnings/ index_e.html

He thinks he will pay for the deer that he slayed. The tenderloins were good, it’s his meal for the day. Be careful when driving along number five, Too bad for the deer, but thankfully the members are alive. There will be a joint Police patrol on July 4 on Lake Metigoshe.

*254<*7.3, +&72*78 ` Ag in Motion brings innovation to the field ALL FARMERS KNOW DECISIONS are made in the field. Imagine a place, an event, created to empower farmers by providing the information they need to make these important decisions. A place where they can see the latest equipment in action, in the field – operating in the same environment it’s made for. A place where farmers can see multiple varieties of live crop plots growing side by side in the field. This summer, such a place will exist. Introducing Ag in Motion, Western Canada’s newest and only outdoor farm expo. Debuting July 21 to 23, on a half-section (320 acres) near Saskatoon, SK, it’s the only show that provides an outdoor venue for progressive farmers in Western Canada that want to see and experience the latest agricultural innovation, all in one place. Ag in Motion will feature field equipment demonstrations, live crop plots and interactive exhibits such as “ride and drives� and smaller equipment demos. “Ag in Motion will offer farmers a unique opportunity to compare crop plots and machinery, in action, and ultimately help them make decisions about the best products for their operations,� says Show Director Rob O’Connor. “There’s nowhere else in Western Canada where farmers can actually see multiple pieces of farm equipment in operation, take a test drive, or compare different crop varieties all in one place.� What does an outdoor show look like? The Ag in Motion team brings together the expertise of seasoned farm show organizers.

The Expo is operated by Glacier FarmMedia, who owns Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, the country’s largest outdoor farm show held annually near Woodstock, Ontario. Also part of Glacier FarmMedia are Western Producer, Manitoba Co-operator, Grainews, Country Guide, Canadian Cattlemen, Alberta Farmer Express and AgDealer. The team knows what’s involved in delivering an outdoor show, and the potential such a venue provides. Now in its 22nd year, Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show delivers 750 exhibitors and 42,000 visitors each year. Most attendees come to see the newest technologies in agriculture. Its success is based on the fact that active farmers attend to do business – make decisions – and the show is dedicated solely to agricultural products, equipment and services.

Ag in Motion is applying the same model and will become a must-see event by showcasing cutting-edge agricultural advancements that empower Canadian farmers to help meet their goals in producing high quality, safe food in a competitive marketplace. To learn more about how an outdoor show looks and operates, view the videos on the Ag in Motion website, www.aginmotion.ca. Live Demos and Interactive Exhibits The number of Ag in Motion exhibitors is growing steadily each week and includes seed and crop protection companies, field equipment and livestock handling manufacturers, financial services, nutrition, baling products, tires, fertilizers and much more.

The Manitoba Burrowing Owl Recovery Program Working in cooperation with Turtle Mountain and West Souris River Conservation Districts Summer is here and so is another season for the Manitoba Burrowing Owl Recovery Program. This year the program has a new face. Cassidy Howell is our new summer student and will be working with our program through Turtle Mountain Conservation District and West Souris Conservation District. Returning again this season we have our senior field and research assistant, Jessica Riach, and our program manager, Alexandra Froese. Burrowing Owls migrate from Manitoba down to the southern United States and Mexico for the winter, returning in the spring in April and May. Once they arrive, they select a suitable burrow and prepare to nest. Burrowing Owls cannot dig their own burrows and rely on old burrows from other digging mammals like ground squirrels, badgers and foxes. They absolutely need a burrow to nest in so having these types of animals around to dig burrows for them is very important. The owls will move around some dirt in and at the burrow entrance, they also add grass and manure to create a microenvironment that attracts insects (their main food source) and to mask the scent of the eggs and young from predators. After the nest is prepared, the female will begin laying 8-12 white, oval-shaped eggs spaced about 36 hours apart. She will start incubating her eggs after the third or fourth egg is laid. She will spend most of her time down the burrow, only coming up to eat, which the male is responsible for providing. This year we are releasing seven pairs of owls. These owls were

overwintered at Assiniboine Park Zoo. They were then transferred to our release sites and paired up for nesting in mid-May just prior to the long weekend. Each pair is placed in a pen equipped with an artificial nest burrow. After they have more than three eggs in their nest, they are released. We installed temperature dataloggers in all burrows this season to collect temperature data in the burrow at an hourly rate. We hope to be able to see whether temperature effects the timing of nesting, as well as, productivity and hatching success. In recent years we have released owls at sites near Broomhill, Medora, and Deloraine. Due to the wet con -

ditions last year, we decided to let the Deloraine site dry out for a season. Initially, this season, we set up four pairs at the Broomhill release site and three pairs at the Medora release site. Unfortunately, after the first couple days in June, and several inches of rain, the burrows at the Medora site became wet and we had no choice but to move the owls to the Broomhill site. Luckily, the Broomhill release site has managed to stay dry even with record amounts of rainfall in the last few years. Fortunately, there were no eggs in the Medora nests upon discovery of water in the burrows. As of June 21, there is a total of 11 eggs in the

burrows and we expect a total of around 45-50 eggs from all nests in the coming weeks. The Manitoba Burrowing Owl Recovery Program will be out and about in the community at local schools and community events around southwest Manitoba. We will be out at Banana Days on August 8 and at the International Peace Garden on August 9. Please come by our booth to chat with us more about the program and meet our education ambassador Burrowing Owl, Ko’ko. If you see or hear a Burrowing Owl, please report it by contacting your local Conservation District or by calling our owl hoot line at 204807-HOOT (4668).

GUESS WHO? -There’s been lots of news about triplets lately. Can you guess who this set of triplets is from years ago? Give me a call or email me at juddwells@hotmail.com, if you have an idea. It was quite amazing that these triplets thrived so well at that time.

Royals wrap up regular season by Jake Weidenhamer On Tuesday, June 30, the Royals travelled to Virden to take on the new expansion Oilers. Jeff Edwards got the start for the Royals, while the Oilers countered with Jeff Peel. This was the second time the two pitchers faced off against each other this season with Edwards earning the victory in round one. Sadly for the Royals he was unable to win the second meeting. The Royals got on the scoreboard in the first with two runs but Virden responded with one of their own in the bottom half of the inning. Virden struck for three runs in the 4th inning and another three runs in the 6th. Unfortunately for the Royals they were unable to get to Peel for any more runs after the 1st inning. Although Edwards allowed seven runs, only four of which were earned as the Royals fell victim to some bad luck and unpredictable bounces. Final score 7-2 Oilers, The Royals were back in action two days later as they travelled to Boissevain to take on the Centennials. Pitching for the Royals was Mitch Olson, getting his 3rd start of the season. Jr. Brake was on the mound for the Centennials. The Royals struggled to figure out Brake as they scratched just three hits off him in 7 innings, failing to score a run and striking out four times. The Centennials got 13 hits in the game scoring seven runs. Unfortunately for Olson the Boissevain batters were able to find the holes in the defence, never really hitting the ball very hard but it proved enough for a 7-0 Centennials win. The Royals were back in action against the Boissevain Centennials on Monday finishing up the Home and Home series. Regrettably for the Royals they were unable to exact any revenge losing an ugly one 22-2. The Centennials were ahead 9-2 going into the 7th when they scored 13 runs in the top half of the inning. The Royals wrapped up the regular season on Tuesday night against the Wawanesa Brewers. Mitch Dillabough got his first SWBL start on the mound. He pitched two very strong innings but the Brewers figured him out their second time through and Dillabough was relieved by Marc Edwards in the fourth. Marc pitched four solid innings allowing just one run on six hits while striking out a pair. Derek McGregor pitched six innings for the Brewers allowing three runs. Offensively the Brewers scored single runs in the 2nd and 7th, and

exploded for eight runs in the 3rd. The third inning proved costly for the Royals as they were able to score only three runs. Eric Sorenson led the way for the Royals with a pair of singles. Royals lost their final game 10-3, giving them a 6-2 record at home and a 8-8 record overall. The Royals will play the Hartney Hoppers in the first round. Game 1 is tentatively scheduled for Friday, July 10, in Hartney at 7:00 p.m. For more information about the SWBL and Royals playoff games you can go to www.ballcharts.com/swbl.

OBITUARY RAMSEY Janet Alberta (Bud) Ramsey (Drummond) was born on October 18, 1923. She was the youngest child born to Abbie and Sadie Drummond, born on the farm 8-6-23 Hartney, MB. Janet received her education in Hartney up to Grade 6 and finished her high school in Lauder when she moved with her family to Lauder in 1939. On June 28, 1941 She married Arnold Ramsey in Brandon, MB. Arnold had just joined the R.C.A.F. She went with him where he was stationed. At the end of the war in 1945 Arnold and Janet bought the farm 32-5-24 west half of the river where they lived all their lives except eight years in Lauder where they purchased the United Store. Janet loved meeting people. Besides being a farmers wife she sold Fuller-Brush products, then Tupperware and finally Sarah Coventry Jewellery, as well as raising her children. She and Arnold loved to dance and loved having the family home for special events. They were together for 56 years of marriage. Bud was a member of the Lauder United Church and taught Sunday School for many years. Served on many church offices, member of the U.C.W., hospital aid. She took and interest in community and church. Bud was never too busy to help or listen to friends and families concerns. When Arnoldʼs health declined Janet took a job at Ben-Del-Win Lodge at Deloraine, MB from 1975 - 1981. She loved her job very much. In 1997 Arnold and Bud retired off the farm and moved to Hartney to be closer to family. Once her husband passed away, she moved to the Cameron Lodge where she resided for 16 years. In 2013 she moved to Hartney Health Centre. She enjoyed her last two years of her life before peacefully passing away at Souris Hospital on June 15, 2015 at the age of 91. She was surrounded by her family. Janet was predeceased by her husband Arnold; parents Abby and Sarah; brother Art; sister Merle; grandchildren Shelly Clarke, Kevin Ramsey, Kenny and Keith Lobreau. Bud is survived by three daughters Arlyne Gale (Dave) Clark, Debra Annabelle (Clair) Lobreau, Teresa Nadine (Robert) Briggs; one son Terrance Wayne (Leticia) Ramsey; nine grandchildren Sherry and Scott Clarke, Brian (Bonnie) Ramsey, Johnnie Ramsey, Elvis (Sada) Ramsey, Derrick (Kathy) Lobreau, Dallas (Andrew) Lobreau, Cynthia (Shane) Vivier and Mitchell Briggs; eight great-grandchildren Jeremy, Colin, Kelly Ramsey, Wyatt Ramsey, Ezekiel Ramsey, Caitlen Lobreau and Naresa and Berkley Vivier; sister-in-law Donalda Drummond, brother and sister-inlaw Ron and Lucy Ramsey; also numerous nieces and nephews.

Edwards receives first Florence Kirby scholarship award submitted A documentary DVD about historic flooding in Souris is now avail able for purchase in local stores, with pro ceeds funding a new award for high school students. The Bridge, by film maker and former Souris resident Glen Kirby, chronicles efforts to protect the Town of Souris in 2011 from the highest floods ever recorded on the Souris River. The hour-long movie premiered to a capacity crowd in the Avalon Theatre in April and had a return engagement on June 30. “The community has been enormously sup portive of this project at every step,” says Kirby. “The demand for the DVD is strong and I want to thank the store owners for graciously carrying copies for sale.” DVDs are available at Home Hardware, Timeless Treasures, Souris Plaindealer, and the Hillcrest Museum. All proceeds from DVD sales of The Bridge go to a new annual $500 award for senior years students in the Southwest Horizon School Division, which

includes Souris School. The Florence Kirby Award recognizes and assists students who have a career goal of communicating with a wider audience through print, recording, cin ema, radio, television, and the internet. “My mother was a long-time Souris resi dent, avid reader, and firm believer that edu cation leads to oppor tunity,” says Kirby. Carlee Edwards, a graduating student from Deloraine School, was presented with the 2015 Florence Kirby Award during convocation in June. Edwards was an honour roll student throughout high school, community volunteer, part-time model, and active in sports, 4-H, music, student council politics, and social jus tice efforts. “Carlee put together an amazing application and people who know her well say that she is mature, responsible, and respected - a real leader,” says Kirby. “I encourage stu dents to find out more about the award from their teachers and counsellors and con sider applying in 2016.”
